The Independent reports: Satellites will track 5,000 of the worst criminals in Britain
Satellite technology will be used to track 5,000 career criminals who are responsible for one in every 10 crimes in Britain, the Home Secretary David Blunkett will announce tomorrow.The radical new technology, which has been developed in the US, will enable law enforcement officers to pinpoint the exact location of criminals who have been released early from prison and fitted with electronic tags.
If one in ten crimes is being committed by "career criminals," then why are "career criminals" being released from prison early? Why spend all this money on a "tracking system" for criminals that should be in prison anyway? So you can track them and put them back in prison, right where they were before you let them out early?
Sometimes I think that the whole world has fallen off its figurative rocker.
